As the Jack Daniel’s brand’s sixth master distiller, Bedford is responsible for making the world-famous whiskey at the Jack Daniel Distillery at the tiny Tennessee town of Lynchburg. He’s been featured as the face behind the product in advertising. And he’s traveled the world to promote the brand. On Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008, the 68-year-old Bedford said he’ll retire effective March 31 after working 40 years at the distillery, including the last 20 as master distiller.
